FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ
What is Mobbot?
​
Mobbot offers unique digital spraying technology to build robust and sustainable infrastructures with data driven decisions and a climate-first priority.
What are the benefits of working with Mobbot?
When looking at the construction industry, many aspects of it have not evolved for decades.
At Mobbot, we are disrupting the industry status quo thanks to data collection, sprayed concrete automation and robotics. We provide new methods of construction that enable companies to optimize their concrete spraying process thanks to an increased reliability, real-time data decisions, and production agility resulting in an improvement of the employees safety, of the concrete and construction quality, increase of productivity and a reduction of concrete use and CO2 emissions.
​
Mobbot makes sustainable constructions a reality.
On what type of machine can Mobbot technology be deployed?
​
Our devices for a reduction of concrete use can be easily deployed on most spraying machines.
How to implement Mobbot’s IoT technology?
​
Mobbot IoT solutions rely in a 24V box that can be easily plugged to spraying machines. It collects data directly from the machine sensors and displayed to a secured online dashboard.
A 12V box is also available upon request.
What type of data are collected with Mobbot IoT solution?
​
2 types of data are collected from the spraying machine:
A. Spraying data collected directly from the machine sensors – concrete and accelerator consumption, hour of machine operation.
B. Error code from machine with possibility to activate alert messages
How are data transmitted to the online cloud?
Mobbot box connects to the WiFi of the tunnel. In the case the tunnel isn’t equipped with a WiFi we can provide a box with SIM card integrated.
Can Mobbot devices operate in a tough working environment?
Yes, Mobbot devices are designed to be used in a difficult working environment. The latest technology we use is adequate for tunnel construction and can cope with dust and concrete rebound, humidity etc.
Most of our devices have their own self-cleaning system integrated.
What it shotcrete ?
​
Shotcrete, sprayed concrete or gunite is concrete or mortar conveyed through a hose and pneumatically projected at high velocity onto a surface, as a construction technique. It is typically reinforced by conventional steel rods, steel mesh, or fibers.
Shotcrete is usually an all-inclusive term for both the wet-mix and dry-mix versions.
​
Shotcrete is placed and compacted/consolidated at the same time, due to the force with which it is ejected from the nozzle. It can be sprayed onto any type or shape of surface, including vertical or overhead areas.
​
Shotcrete has the characteristics of high compressive strength, good durability, water tightness and frost resistance.
